LendUp’s mission is to provide anyone with a path to better financial health. We build technology, credit products and educational experiences for the 56% of the US population who are shut out of mainstream banking because of poor credit or volatile incomes. All of our technology is built in-house. We currently offer several types of credit products, including loans and credit cards. We embed education into our products, and where available, credit building opportunities, to help borrowers improve their long-term financial health and break out of vicious debt cycles. We were founded by two step-brothers, CEO Sasha Orloff and CTO Jake Rosenberg. Sasha puts the “fin” in fintech, having worked at Citi, World Bank, and Grameen Bank. Jake puts the “tech” in fintech; he was a platform CTO at Zynga at 29 and began working at Yahoo! at age 16, as employee #80.

How to invest in LendUp stock?

Accredited investors can buy pre-IPO stock in companies like LendUp through EquityZen funds. These investments are made available by existing LendUp shareholders who sell their shares on our platform. Typically, these are early employees who need to fund a life event – house, education, etc. Accredited investors are then offered the opportunity to invest in this stock through a fund, like those used by hedge funds serving large investors. While not without risk, investing in private companies can help investors reach goals of portfolio diversification, access to potential growth and high potential return.

If I invest, how do I exit my investment?

There are two ways to exit your private company investment on EquityZen's marketplace. The first is if the company has an exit event like an IPO, merger or acquisition. In that case, we will distribute the shares and/or cash to you directly. The second way is through an Express Deal on EquityZen, if eligible. An Express Deal allows you to sell your allocation of private shares in a given private company to another investor on EquityZen's marketplace. More information on Express Deals can be found here and exit information can be found here.
